ERBBands

standard mode | Spectral category

Inputs

  • spectrum (vector_real) - the audio spectrum

Outputs

  • bands (vector_real) - the energies/magnitudes of each band

Parameters

  • highFrequencyBound (real ∈ [0, ∞), default = 22050) :

    an upper-bound limit for the frequencies to be included in the bands

  • inputSize (integer ∈ (1, ∞), default = 1025) :

    the size of the spectrum

  • lowFrequencyBound (real ∈ [0, ∞), default = 50) :

    a lower-bound limit for the frequencies to be included in the bands

  • numberBands (integer ∈ (1, ∞), default = 40) :

    the number of output bands

  • sampleRate (real ∈ (0, ∞), default = 44100) :

    the sampling rate of the audio signal [Hz]

  • type (string ∈ {magnitude, power}, default = power) :

    use magnitude or power spectrum

  • width (real ∈ (0, ∞), default = 1) :

    filter width with respect to ERB

Description

This algorithm computes energies/magnitudes in ERB bands of a spectrum. The Equivalent Rectangular Bandwidth (ERB) scale is used. The algorithm applies a frequency domain filterbank using gammatone filters. Adapted from matlab code in: D. P. W. Ellis (2009). ‘Gammatone-like spectrograms’, web resource [1].
